[Notebook] Advice from the Salaf for the One who Finds Little Barakah in His Time

One of the Salaf said:

"Every time I increased upon my (daily) portion of Qur'aan, my time would increase in barakah (blessing). I kept on increasing up until my daily portion reached ten ajzaa` (a third of the Qur'aan)!"

Ibraaheem bin `Abdil-Waahid al-Maqdisee said, whilst advising ad-Diyaa` al-Maqdisee who intended to go out on a journey to seek knowledge:

"Recite much Qur'aan and don't abandon it, for verily that which you want to learn will become easier in accordance with how much you recite."

ad-Diyaa` said:

"So I noticed this and experienced it much. If I recited a lot of Qur'aan then listening to many ahaadeeth (narrations) and writing all of them down would be easy for me, and if I didn't recite then it would become difficult."
